The Nokia N86 8MP is on the way and started shipping from Nokia’s factories this morning. This usually means we’ll start to see it appearing in shops over the next 10 days or so.

Are we looking at a triple-whammy of Nokia N97, Nokia 6700 classic and Nokia N86 8MP all launching on the same day? Join us after the break for the full low down and pricing….

The Nokia N86 8MP started shipping from factories earlier today but at the time, pricing and availability wasn’t know. Thankfully, Nokia has posted up the pricing and pre-order page for the 8-Megapixel happy snapper.

The Nokia N86 8MP will cost £399 (inc. VAT) and if you pre-order it from Nokia Online now it will be sent out to you free of charge when it ships.

For those still not in the know, the Nokia N86 8MP is a S60 3rd Edition smartphone that comes with a 2.6-inch AMOLED screen and packs in 8GB of storage, as well as GPS and everything we’ve come to expect from a leading Nokia phone, including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

The Nokia N86 8MP is also the first to come pre-loaded with Nokia Maps 3.0, Nokia’s new mapping service,  3D and satellite mapping and enhanced pedestrian navigation, including birds-eye views of tourist landmarks.

The first Nokia device to feature an 8-megapixel camera, the Nokia N86 8MP will also be available through Carphone Warehouse, free with contract, from 19th June until the middle of July, after which it will be available from O2, 3, Orange and T-Mobile. So, what do you think, getting your order in or still lusting over the Nokia N97?
